正文 第2章 My beautiful diary (2)(1 / 2)

Hair, whether it is cut or not, grows about half an inch per month. Hair does grow slightly faster in the summer, but that is due to hormones rather than the stylist’s scissors. A worrying trend among young Chinese girls is to rub a paste made of crushed contraceptive pill into their scalp and hair. This does not lead to stronger, glossier, faster growing hair. In fact, the hormones, while initially improving the condition of the hair, quickly lead to hair loss.

P.S. You can’t repair split ends. The only way to rid of split ends is to cut them off and prevent them in the future with good hair care. A good trim will eliminate split ends, making hair look healthier and livelier.

9.Shaving Makes Hair Grow Back Darker and Coarser

As above. Cutting or shaving any hair on your body does not affect it growth.

10.You Can Get Rid of Cellulite

The truth is, nothing can be done to permanently eliminate cellulite—not even liposuction. The removal of cellulite remains one of the holy grails of cosmetic dermatology. It doesn’t matter whether you’re fat or thin, rich or poor, luck of the gene pool determines who will and won’t get cellulite. Take heart though, you can, however, temporarily reduce its orange peel-like appearance. Specialist firming creams containing caffeine tighten and smooth the skin, while basic moisturisers will also work to hydrate and swell the skin, making cellulite a little less obvious.

1.香皂對皮膚有害

從傳統上來說,香皂是動物脂肪和水果或植物油的混合體。這種化合物的PH值很高,會令皮膚,尤其是老化的皮膚,變得幹燥。現如今的香皂在配方中加入了較傳統香皂更為溫和的人工合成成分,因而適合清潔皮膚。大多數香皂都添加了潤膚劑(潤膚霜),所以對肌膚有益。如果你更喜歡用香皂潔膚的那種感覺,那麼就別讓那些高檔護膚品的經銷商們把你給唬住了——使用香皂一點兒問題都沒有。

2.幹燥皮膚造成皺紋

約80%的細紋和皺紋是由陽光造成的。另外的20%則源於微笑和皺眉等麵部表情。如果你吸煙,皺紋就長得更快。另外,隨著一個人年齡的增長,皮膚分泌的天然油脂會減少,而這會令皺紋更加明顯。潤膚霜能暫時撫平一些早期的細紋。避免讓自己受到日曬,你就能抑製細紋的發展。記住:曬黑就是你皮膚受損的反應。
